I really like being able to see his face. I've been trying to grow Riley's hair out so he can have the topknot and all but I've been having second thoughts.

It depends if you want to bother with the top knot, Rita. If you do, it really will keep the hair out of his eyes. B U T . . . As you are finding, letting it grow out is TORTURE!!! (That's why several of us all did it together... To give each other moral support! )

But the flip side is, there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with clipping their heads too... Especailly if you keep the rest of him clipped anyway!
